Noted in Stefanie Meier-Kreiskott's Spätgotische Taufsteine im deutschen Südwesten, Dissertation an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 2011, as a baptismal font dated to the early 16th century but much altered and restored since: "Datierung: 1.Viertel 16. Jahrhundert. Achteckig, später Nachfolger des Langenauer Taufsteins. Dieser nur sehr schlecht erhaltene Taufstein, dessen Schaft wie der beim Stein in der Basler Peterskirche entfernt worden ist, war ehedem dreiteilig aufgebaut. Aus einem aus mehreren Platten bestehenden Sockel, entwickelt sich das Stabwerk, das sich früher bis zum Becken durchzog. Es geht in der Rahmung der Beckenfelder auf. Das Becken schließt mit zwei Kehlprofilen, die von einem spitzen Kantprofil getrennt werden. In die untere Kehle ist ein waagerecht verlaufendes Rundprofil eingepasst. In den Beckenfeldern befindet sich verschlungenes Astwerk. Wie Reste alter Fassung zeigen, ist der Taufstein mindestens einmal restauriert worden. In diesem Rahmen wurde die farbige Fassung entfernt." A carved wooden font was reported destroyed in the 18 October 1936 fire that affected most of the church. [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
